'The news' is correct because they talk about a particular news of world's end but how can we use 'the' with papers, when there is no particular paper is defined, say the telegraph or the Hindu.

1. "The" is correct to use here with news.

2. "will" is often used when we talk about ascertain worldly things.

3. We don't publish news. Rather we publish articles in news, so "the news has been published" is okay.

The use of article 'The' in incorrect before newspaper because news is meant to be published in newspapers only.

I think that 'will be certain' is correct because it is 'if' the nuclear war breaks out. It is a condition.
